The Labour Party Conference Energy Fringe Guide The Labour Party Conference Energy Fringe Guide 24 September 2015 • 1 2015 Labour Party Conference: Your energy guide 1 The 2015 Labour Party Conference ................................................................................................. 2 2 Jeremy Corbyn's 10 Point Energy Plan ............................................................................................ 2 3 The Fringe Listings: What to look out for ....................................................................................... 3 3.1 Monday 28th September 2015 ....................................................................................................................................... 3 3.2 Tuesday 29th September 2015........................................................................................................................................ 5 1 The 2015 Labour Party Conference Political Intelligence will be attending this year’s Labour Party Conference in what will be the most insightful opportunity to date to see how Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party will operate. Much in-fighting, briefing and counter-briefing has already taken place but will Corbyn’s speech on Tuesday 29th September bring together a divided party or be the seed that pushes the Parliamentary Labour Party into open revolt? This will be much clearer once the leader's speech concludes on Tuesday afternoon and his party colleagues react. Political Intelligence has put together this guide of energy fringe events you should look out for (including a few must-attend events) together with a reminder of Jeremy Corbyn's 10-point energy plan as outlined during his leadership campaign. 2 Jeremy Corbyn's 10 Point Energy Plan Corbyn was never meant to be Ed Miliband's successor as Labour leader - he was nominated initially by his parliamentary colleagues to simply widen the debate. Corbyn's preference for greater state control in the energy sector should not be dismissed entirely - whilst renationalisation is unlikely to become official government policy any time soon, the populist calls for greater state control are likely to gain traction and put pressure on the government. All eyes will be on Lisa Nandy, appointed as Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. With very little energy policy experience, Nandy will be keen to stamp her authority and bat away accusations of inexperience. 24 September 2015 • 2 During his leadership campaign, Jeremy Corbyn published his 'Protecting our Planet Manifesto' which included a 10 point energy plan: 1. Make Britain take the lead in developing the clean energy economy of the future 2. Establish an Energy Commission to draft a fundamental shift in UK energy thinking 3. Produce a route-map into tomorrow's 'smart energy' systems 4. Bring new partners into policy making - local authorities, communities, energy co-operatives and 'smart' technology companies 5. Conduct a root and branch review of energy market subsidies 6. Ensure that energy industry, not the public, meet the costs of their own clean-up 7. Re-define the roles of Ofgem, National Grid and the Competition and Markets Authority 8. Allow communities to be owners of local energy systems 9. Examine the role of the state as guarantor of last resort; with more direct responsibility for the nation's back-up generation, high voltage grid and interconnectors 10. Commit Britain to binding international climate change commitments; making national and local targets. 3 The Fringe Listings: What to look out for 3.1 Monday 28th September 2015 8.30am - A Connected Future: UK Infrastructure in the 21st Century Chair: Anne Ashworth, Assistant Editor and Property Editor, The Times Speakers: Seema Malhotra MP (invited); Nigel Milton, Director of External Affairs, Heathrow Airport; Andrew Carter, Deputy Chief Executive, Centre for Cities Location: Durham Hall - Sherwood, Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel 24 September 2015 • 3 12.30pm - Paying Less For Energy Chair: Damian Carrington, the Guardian Speakers: Peter Smith, National Energy Action; Pete Moorey, Which?; Jonathan Reynolds (invited); Huw-Irranca Davies MP, Chair, Environmental Audit Committee Location: Hall 7 - Avon, Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel 12.45pm - Developing a Vision for Energy in Buildings Chair: Dave Sowden, CEO, Sustainable Energy Association Speakers: Jonathan Reynolds (invited); Trevor Hutchings, Head of Advocacy, WWF UK; Dr Alan Whitehead MP, Chair, PRASEG Location: The Grand Hotel, 97-99 King's Rd, Brighton.

  • Lisa Nandy MP, Shadow Foreign Secretary
    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, 21ST MARCH, 2021 - LISA NANDY, MP ANDREW MARR SHOW, 21ST MARCH, 2021 LISA NANDY, MP SHADOW FOREIGN SECRETARY (Please check against delivery (uncorrected copies)) AM Lisa Nandy, it’s clear that the EU threat to block vaccines coming into the UK is still live. If that happens, how should the UK respond? LN: Well, I think the President of the European Commission’s comments were deeply, deeply unhelpful. I think that it was right listening to the Commissioner just now that we should try to calm down these tensions. We’ve seen throughout this process that we do better when we work together, that if we don’t defeat the virus everywhere we’re not going to defeat it anywhere, and there are new strains of the virus that are currently emerging. The South African variant which scientists are particularly worried about that is starting to gain traction in France that we need to be very mindful of. We may not be out of the woods with Covid yet and so we’ve got to work together. That means we need to calm these tensions; blockades are really unhelpful. I would urge the European Commission to calm down the language, cool the rhetoric and let’s try and work together to get through this crisis. AM: One of the crucial components of the Pfizer vaccine is made in Cheshire. If the EU banned the export of vaccines into the UK would the UK be justified in banning the exports of components back into the EU? LN: Well look, this is precisely the tit for tat we don’t want to get into.

  • Who Is on the UK Shadow Energy Team?
    Oct 15, 2013 10:54 BST Who is on the UK shadow energy team? Last week we wrote a run-down of who was who at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Also last week, Labour leader Ed Miliband decided to re-shuffle his own energy team to provide a new balance to the Tory/Liberal Democrat ran DECC. Caroline Flint Caroline Flint (pictured) has been the shadow energy minister since October 2011, the position that directly shadows Ed Davey. She is already well-known for resigning in 2009 because of disagreements with Gordon Brown's leadership style, and then being re-elected in 2010. She is currently an MP for Don Valley in South Yorkshire which has always been represented by a Labour MP since 1922. She has held various ministerial positions in the Labour front bench such as Minister for Public Health, Minister for Employment, Minister for Housing and Planning, as well as Minister for Europe. Tom Greatrex Tom is a Scottish MP who was voted into the House of Commons in 2010. When he was first voted in he became a member of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, which he stepped down from later that year. When Ed Miliband became leader he was appointed Shadow Scotland Office Minister until 2011 when he was asked by Ed Miliband to become Shadow Energy Minister with policy responsibility for oil and gas, electricity market reform, renewables, National Grid, and related issues. Jonathan Reynolds Jonathon Reynolds is one of the newest members of the shadow energy team after Miliband's recent re-shuffle.

  • The Extraordinary Resurgence of Manchester Is the Best Model for Closing the North-South Economic Divide
    Financial Times: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/a0513f2a-b7bb-11e4-981d- 00144feab7de.html#ixzz3SZw6S2Ao The extraordinary resurgence of Manchester is the best model for closing the north-south economic divide A young man in jeans, a blue T-shirt and rollerblades glides across the shiny grey floor of The Sharp Project in northeast Manchester. Seconds later, a colleague follows him on a skateboard, slaloming towards the canteen. Working in a 200,000 sq ft space — roughly the area of two Manhattan blocks — has encouraged some occupants to find alternative ways of traversing the office. The former electronics factory is salvage from a wreck. The long decline of industry during the 20th century left empty warehouses, mills and factories strewn around Greater Manchester. Some remain derelict but many have been reclaimed by a new generation of entrepreneurs. The Sharp Project is home to more than 60 companies. Rows of converted shipping containers house small businesses from a data-driven forensics lab to a post-production studio. Bright geometric lines of orange and red illuminate the otherwise grey, white and black arena; the place looks like it was decorated by Piet Mondrian. Students from a nearby school mingle with techies, marvelling that a workplace near them includes a ping-pong table. “It’s like Silicon Valley,” a pupil says. Only an item on the lunch menu belies the location: chips and gravy is a Mancunian fuel. In his office, Andrew Daniels recalls growing up in Manchester in the 1980s and early 1990s. The managing director of Degree 53, a digital design company named after Manchester’s latitude, says that “the city centre used to be a terrible place”.

Will he also tell us how confident he is that these guidelines are being Tuesday 24 January 2017 applied across the whole estate and when he expects to do an assessment of their impact?

As I said earlier, the guidelines [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] came about through interaction with various independent organisations, and staff are being trained in this area. I think some perspective is required here: we have a Oral Answers to Questions prison system that is traditionally male-female, and we are dealing with relatively small numbers, but, yes, I am Justice keeping an eye on this issue.
